Such depth

rate my poem pls

Young Savage, why are you raging so hard?
Against the setting sun
Young Savage, why you struggling so hard
Against the setting of the light
Because these people are weak and I'm hard
I turn that soft into grit
I grew up in the streets without no heart
I'm praying to my god and my card

Why do I always think it's satire for the first minute? It's never satire.

Just read books that you find interesting. If you don't like books then stop reading.

Stoicism is pretty interesting. It's hard to really gather too much about it, as most of it is secondary sources and new-age bullshit.

Look up stoicism and cognitive behavioral therapy.

plato's dialogues. think of a topic that interests you and look for a dialogue that tackles it. without getting into the issue of platonic interpretation since there are shitloads of schools of interpretation, just remember that he is writing stuff more akin to fiction compared to modern philosophical works, so dont take everything the interlocutors say purely literal

>>9052589
dont fall for the eternal anglo OP

>>9052543

If you have to ask you will never know.

Just read. Given your previous interests, you might like fiction books based on the various interpretations one could have of them, and how they might apply to the larger world.

But really, just read. If you like something, like it, and its quite hard to force yourself to enjoy something you clearly don't. Just keep searching for something, and you'll likely encounter at least a few thing you enjoy. When you find something you like, you can take what you enjoyed about those books and look for other similar ones. Expanding interests is a process of time for the most part.

>new insight it gives me into the world
Love philosophy, but this made me kek pretty hard.

>tfw i share a board with these philistines

I think viewing novels as anything other than entertainment is faggy.

Most of books are boring fuck

My Twisted World is the best post 2000 book and one of the best ever

Women have lives on easy mode

Dostoevsky has zero worthwhile things to say but notes from the underground was really great. His longer stuff is boring turgid shit

I would rather give my money to Amazon or charity stores than the type of people who work at publishing companies

Reading Shakespeare is pretentious pseudointellectual faggotry. Plays are meant to be watched. Not gobbled up as quickly as possible to get that"I read Shakespeare" pseud cred

If a kid's only exposure to books is school then he is right to hate books and would be faggy otherwise

Motherfucking reeee. Give yourself a nice big self high five cuz u triggered the fuck outta me.

The double

"How to be an angsty gaylord" by Fedorovo Tipps

>>9052456
might give this a read. i do like Dostoevsky but im looking more for a non-fiction books so i can learn about philosophical themes similar to the ones expressed in fight club

>>9052330
Old Man and the Sea

short books are called Novellas btw

>>9052381
I think 225 pages is a novel. 90 pages to 185 is a novella. I don't know what to call the dead space in between. Maybe kill yourself faggot

Wasn't meaning to be a dick. My teachers always pushed this on me and now I can't stand people not make the desticnction. Sorry I guess.

The horse thing is apocryphal.

>To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities — I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not — that one endures.

Would Nietzsche put Goethe in a Nazi concentration camp?

Funny to catch this thread now, I watched the movie just last night.

It's a straight shoot in the feels, though. Be advised.

I was on top
I wore the crown
Before my eyes
It crumbled down

So is it still your prison or is it just your grave now?

I really liked it. If you enjoyed Witz or The instructions this book is right up your alley. Also don't fall for the trickery of the main character!

Society of the Spectacle

Because 'people who go around talking about redpilling' forms a pretty tight Venn diagram along with 'children'
